A Murder is Announced

With
remarkable calmness "Little Paddocks" becomes the focus for this
murder. How does Christie make us believe that the villagers follow
their instincts and go to the scene of the crime? Why would they when
they believe it to be nonsense?

Full of clues which manifest themselves as "red herrings" Christie
unearths a multitude of suggestions for the culprit. How well does the
author allow us to believe that Craddock's sesitive ego results in him
listening to Miss Marple?

As Christie's characters unfold we are also given insights into which
newspapers she read. If Christie were alive today, which paper do you
think she would read and why?

She would read The Telegraph I think because I think she is Conservative, and she would read her local Paper, If I am wrong about The Telegraph it would be The Express and Daily Express because I read The Sunday Express and I would like to think I had the same mind, If she were totally like me it would be The Independent on Saturday.

I love this book, it's probably my favourite Miss Marple novel, especially because of the relationship between the murderer and the second victim. It's were the real strengths of the novel lies. The first murder is in my opinion almost unnecessary.

I like it because of the Characters, the plot, the relationship between Miss Hinchcliffe and Miss Margatroyd, I like it because of Craddock, I like the other Characters, for a funny five minutes I imagined the Characters as woodland and domesticated animals, Colonel Easterbrook wa a Fox dressed in Hunting gearand Miss Murgatroyd was a timot country mouse.

Reading Murder Is Announced was so enjoyable. But it made me feel I couldn't have lived in Little Paddocks. There seems to be a dark undercurrent throughout of lies and hypocrisy. I loved the way Bunch was so open and honest about there being a murder. Whereas everyone else went around pretending they just happened to be there.

I agree with ChrisopherWren on the relationship between victim and murderer is very emotive. But I think the first murder really throws the reader off the track.

Someone on another thread said that a Recipe of Deliscious Death was put on this site, If it was since it had a makeover can someone tell me where I can find it please, I would love to see the recipe, The person also said that they assumed The Cake for Bunny's Birthday was a Saschatorte, I think I have been eating one this week and it is just how I imagine the cake Mitzi made is
